NAME

IO::All::FTP - Extends IO::All to FTP URLs

SYNOPSIS

    use IO::All;

    "hello world\n" > io('ftp://localhost/test/x');  # save to FTP
    io('ftp//example.org/pub/xyz') > io('xyz');      # GET to file

    # two ways of getting a file with a password:
    $content < io('ftp://me:secret@example.org/xyz');
    $content < io('ftp://example.org/xyz')->user('me')->password('secret');

DESCRIPTION

This module extends IO::All for dealing with FTP URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All whenever it sees something that looks like an FTP URL.

METHODS

This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "ftp", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::FTP object; or it can also take an FTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('ftp//example.com'), which calls the "ftp" method automatically.

OPERATOR OVERLOADING

The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an FTP URL; > PUTs to an FTP URL.
